Résumé

Bipolar Disorder (BPD) is a complex psychiatric disease with a relevant underlying genetic basis. HTR2A T102C, HTR2C Cys23Ser, SLC6A4 5-HTTLPR and rs25531 polymorphisms were genotyped in 230 BPD patients and inserted as covariates in a mixture regression model of age at onset (AAO). 5-HTTLPR polymorphism associated with early onset component under recessive and additive model. HTR2A T102C, HTR2C Cys23Ser and 5-HTTLPR interaction terms associated with early onset component under dominant, recessive and additive model. These findings suggest a role of genes codifying for elements of the serotonergic system in influencing the AAO in BPD.
